2014 Xmas in July - Vic Recipe

[Yob]

There will be a 'pot' on the day, similar for the food, haven't worked out logistics on that yet, still don't know total cost etc.

 

[user 25501]

Let me know how I can help please. I'll be heading to Core Brewing Concepts, Keg King or G&G in the next 4 weeks. Otherwise I'll just tip into the pot.

 

[Mardoo]

Hey Yob it occurs to me that we could get 4 sacks of that local Schooner in the buy Andrew has going. Price seems right, but yours might be better. It'd put that buy over the line too.

 

[Midnight Brew]

I'm still good for the 4kg Amber Malt. So I can stay penciled in for that one. Also got just under 4kg of JW Vienna that isnt going to be used anytime soon if you want that as part of the base, shouldnt make too much of a difference in this beer. On offer if you fellas want it included.

Cool, I'll chuck into the pot also. Will be able to contribute by bringing along a keg of something :beerbang:

Dunno mate, has anyone tried the malt? Im hesitant to commit this brew to un tested malts if you know what I mean?

Hey midnight, how keen are you to get rid of your 4kg of Amber? I've got 7kgs and only need 1-2, so I'd b happy to provide all 4kg, or at least lessen my stock by 2kg if you wanna go halves. How's that sound?

Fwiw, I've also got a spare kilo or 2 of: midnight wheat, caraaroma, carabohemian, melanoiden, and each of pale/med/dark crystals. If they can be squeezed into a slightly modified version, let me know and I'll bring them along too.

 

[GrumpyPaul]

How much EKG do we need?

I have 400g of EKG that I grabbed when the "free" hops from Temple were doing the rounds.

I will never use them all myself - so I can provide them

I also have 145g of EKG plugs.

Also grabbed in the free hop frenzy ( I am ashamed to say I may have been a bit like a seagull on hot chips that night) that may be useful if you want them

180g First Gold (8%AA)
200g Challenger (8%AA)
150g Bramling Cross (6%AA)
130g Splatz (3.5%AA)

 

[breakbeer]

Hey Midnight Brew, I can chuck in some Victory too so if you wanna split that I'm happy to contribute

 

[Yob]

Won't know about the hops till we nail down the recipe but probably a half kilo of ekg and same for Fuggles at a rough guess

upscaled recipe for 340l output

5.00 kg Pale Malt (75kg) - Yob - CONFIRMED
0.30 kg Barley (4.8kg) - Grainer?
0.25 kg Amber Malt (4kg) - Midnight Brew/Techno - CONFIRMED 2kg each
0.25 kg Vienna Malt (3.77kg) - Midnight Brew - CONFIRMED - Why the hell not (part of base)
0.25 kg Carafa (4kg)
0.25 kg Chocolate Malt (4kg) - MartinOC
0.25 kg Roasted Barley (4kg) -
15.00 g Green Bullet (240g)
25.00 g Green Bullet (400g)
Fuggles - XXX - Yob - Probably
EKG - XXX - Yob - Probably

Updated was Vienna not victory and it needs to go I have no plans for it. And splitting Amber with Techno.

Likewise with the seagull on chips, got plenty of Northdown, Challenger, Brambling Cross and First Gold. All in amounts of around 400g+ all about 2.5 years in cool room then around 6 months vac sealed in my freezer.

Rough estimates on AA %'s are
Brambling Cross 3.35 (probably not really ideal for this recipe)
Challenger 6.03
First Gold 6.73 (Good sub perhaps for EKG)
Northdown 5.54 (Bittering charge?)

What do you think Yob?

 

[RelaxedBrewer]

I can grab the 4kg of carafa next time I pick up some grains from G&G (probably in a couple of weeks).

We are after carafa II, right?

 

[Mardoo]

Hey there,

If it's Victory y'all were after I can supply the 4 kg Victory. I have a crapload.

[Yob]

So I was thinking about this today.. the thought strikes me that we should probably be cube hopping these...

with so many cubes to do, the profile is going to be significantly different from first to last cube. This'll also mean we can lose less to the kettle etc..

watcha think?

 

[breakbeer]

Yep, agreed

Hopped cubes for sure

 

[GrumpyPaul]

I'm just take home a happy to be guided by the experts....

I will leave decisions like this in Yobs culpable hands

 

[Mardoo]

Knowing SFA about cube hopping, other than liking Yob's beers, I too have been wondering whether we should cube hop. Hell, we could all even use whatever hops we wanted and then have a tasting day down the line.

 

[Midnight Brew]

No hard sell for me on cube hops. Still put the above hops on offer, even if we end up hopping different.

That's not a bad idea at all, we could end up with some vastly different beers depending on people's tastes..

Interesting
